2020 Alamosa Western National Meet-Cancellation

The Hi-Country Regional Group #28 Car meet, received a letter from Bruce Nelson, National Early Ford V8 Club of America president and Rick Claybaugh, National Meet Coordinator, which said in part:

“We would like to commend you for gathering the volunteers to work to host a 2020 Western National Meet. Bruce will be the first to tell you that he knows how much work it is after chairing or working on 17 Early Ford V-8 Club National Meets. But with these unprecedented times, hosting large groups of people is not what it used to be. Therefore, we request the postponement or cancelation of the 2020 Western National Meet in Alamosa Colorado.”

The 2020 Alamosa committee has had numerous contacts from members asking, hoping, the event is still on, but after seeing Bruce’s comments, regretfully, we see no option except to cancel the 2020 Alamosa Western National Meet. We will begin issuing refunds soon. Be sure to contact the hotel that you made reservations with and cancel your room.

Please foreword the following to your editor:

With deep regret the 2020 Alamosa Western National Meet has had to cancel the entire event. There are too many concerns for everyone to take a chance on such a large gathering. Refunds will be issued as soon as our treasurer can get them processed.

Sincerely

The 2020 Alamosa Western National Committee

Bernie Arellano
Meet Chair

Tom Webb
Club President

As someone who has been involved with working on National Meets this had to be a difficult decision , but one made in the interest of safety.
Here's an idea, why not hold our registration money(put it in the bank and make a little bit of interest) and plan for a 2022 meet? I'd be happy to have you hold my money knowing I can plan ahead for 2022. Been to every Colorado Meet since 1984 and always happy to come back. Thanks for all your hard work and hate to see it lost.
